a trio of songs for trinity sunday

first the complement to Misty Edwards' biblical usage: the first time I heard this song it was to run an errand for my friend Aleya and the CD just happened to be in the player. I was all, "Jennifer Knapp, how did you KNOW those were all my favorite verses?!"

The song is called "Trinity"

I went and saw the new Narnia movie tonight and it was actually a lot better than I expected. The song at the end was really good so I'm going to share it. It's Regina Spektor which is a sort of pleasant surprise.

I don't have a youtube for this last one; it's a song I've loved dearly since I first heard it and it just felt right tonight.

All I know100 Portraits

today if there's ever been a day when I needed a rescueI've been digging with all three hands a hole that I can't climb out fromsomeone throw me a ropewoven with the rounds of historysomething I can believe in

someone told me a liesomeone told meI should climb, so I triedbut I'm not that strong

Oh, all I know isLove found me brokenOh, all I know isthe Healer has freed mefrom all of my shamelegs that were witheredare under me walkingI'm leaving this pain that I built with my pridehands that were broken, now are waving goodbye

someone sold me a liesomeone told meI should be in myself, but I'm not that tallsomeone showed mesomeone showed methat I fall downand call out, He will rescue me

Oh, all I know isLove found me brokenOh, all I know isthe Healer has freed mefrom all of my shamelegs that were witheredare under me walkingI'm leaving this pain that I built with my pridehands that were broken, now are waving goodbye

Oh, all I know isLove found me brokenOh, all I know isthe Healer has freed mefrom all of my shamelegs that were twistedare under me walkingI'm leaving this pain that I built with my pridehands that were broken, now are waving goodbyeThey are waving goodbye.

and the Hands that just healed medraw me close to His side

I was broken, I was brokenOh, this Hand has healed me, came and touched me, came and made me whole.I said now I have to dance!I lift it upOh now, all of my life I will sing!Oh now, join me, join me, join meOh now, join me, join me, join me

Oh, all I know isLove found me brokenOh, all I know is goodbye lonely!Goodbye, goodbye broken!Goodbye, goodbye to blackness!Goodbye to lonely!Goodbye to hear my sin all in my mindThis Hand come around my left andthis Hand come around my right anddraw me close to the face of God!I feel the kisses, I feel the holy something, the kisses from the mouth of my God!And the sweet tears rolling and they hold me closer, sweet tears roll, hold me now.
